A bar of unknown material is subjected to an axial tension load P. The bar, having initial dimensions L = 500 mm and a = b = 25 mm, is observed to elongate by 20 mm. Further, it is observed that the volume of the bar increases by 600 mm3. The bulk modulus of the material is measured at 20,000 MPa. Assuming that the material is isotropic, homogeneous and linear elastic, determine the magnitude of the load P in [kN] unit.

Answer #2

answer #1 looks good but the volume is wrong in that calculation....

25x25x500= 312500 not 31250
